Ledger, the maker of crypto hardware wallets, is winding down its Nano S line and urging users to prepare for a switch to modern alternatives. Though not its debut product, the Nano S gained widespread popularity after its 2016 launch, marking Ledger’s first big hit in the consumer wallet market.

“Ledger is transitioning away from the Ledger Nano S,” the company’s Spring 2025 update notes. “As a result, new applications, feature submissions, and app updates on the Nano S will not be accepted. We recommend you begin planning for this transition now to ensure continuity for the users by warning your community that support of your blockchain app/wallet/service on the Nano S is not guaranteed.”

Ledger also confirmed it has stopped manufacturing the Nano S and suggests users and developers move to its other models like the Nano S Plus or Nano X. When the announcement hit social media, it didn’t take long for a wave of frustration to ripple through the user base. “Very uncool Ledger – you effectively force anyone to buy and enter the seed into a new device,” one user wrote on X.

Another individual said they were hoping someone would release open-source software to keep the Ledger Nano S functional since it’s their preferred low-effort cold wallet option. As the Nano S era winds down, the shift signals more than just a product phaseout—it’s a nudge toward evolving security standards in a rapidly advancing space.

Whether through open-source efforts or newer models, Ledger Nano S users now face a choice.
